Stellaris Constant Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Stellaris Constant (Sc) is:

\[ S_c = \frac{L}{T^4} \]

Where:

\( S_c \) is the Stellaris Constant (dimensionless).
\( L \) is the luminosity of the star (in solar luminosities \( L☉ \)).
\( T \) is the temperature of the star (in Kelvin).

Example

Let's say the luminosity (\( L \)) is 2 \( L☉ \), and the temperature (\( T \)) is 6000 K. Using the formula:

\[ S_c = \frac{2}{6000^4} \]

We get:

\[ S_c = \frac{2}{1.296 \times 10^{15}} \approx 1.54 \times 10^{-15} \]

So, the Stellaris Constant (\( S_c \)) is approximately \( 1.54 \times 10^{-15} \).

What is the Stellaris Constant?

The Stellaris Constant is a dimensionless number that is derived from a star’s luminosity and temperature. It is used in astrophysics to classify stars and understand their properties. The constant is named after the popular space strategy game Stellaris, which features a universe filled with various star systems and celestial phenomena.
